Abstract

This article summarizes the interdisciplinary work, survival, prognostic factors, and prognostic groups for lung metastases from breast cancer and renal cell cancer. Furthermore, the prevalence of lymph node metastases and the importance of a systematic lymph node dissection in metastasectomy of breast cancer and renal cell cancer for a true R0 resection are discussed.

Keywords: Breast cancer; Lung metastases; Lymphadenectomy; Metastasectomy; Renal cell cancer.
